Lilith: Basic Operations, Don't Panic

Mostima, surrounded by onlookers, looked completely bewildered.

How did this all end up on her? Although she was the one who suggested it, and she was the one who found the contact information... it was Lilith who carried it out!

Is this once naive and innocent heiress a little... naturally cunning?

Mostima glanced at Lilith, who was smiling without any malice, and thought that she probably wasn't deliberately trying to trick him... so she must have tricked him unintentionally.

"So, my contact information was also obtained by this Miss Mostima?" Zhu Yufeng asked knowingly, as if he knew what Lilith was planning to do.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Mostima is going to be sold.

"Yes!" Lilith said happily, "Mostima is a very skilled hacker!"

Mostima: "..."

My dear lady, is it something I can just casually reveal as a hacker?

"Lilith, you're joking. I only know a little bit about computers..." Mostima chuckled. "I'm just a gamer girl."

Mostima has already started considering running away. Being a hacker sounds cool, but if he is exposed, he will be finished, both legally and in terms of future relationships.

The reason she dared to come directly to see Lilith was because she had done a thorough investigation and knew that this young lady's past was as clear as a sheet of paper. She had stepped in when Lilith needed her, so she would be her ally and wouldn't be betrayed.

After all, Lilith is just a flower grown in a greenhouse, while I've been a part of the society for a long time.

But Zhu Yufeng and the others...

Although her heart inexplicably raced when she first saw Zhu Yufeng, as if it were love at first sight, she was certain that it wasn't because of the two girls with strange expressions following behind Zhu Yufeng.

Believe it or not?

Zhu Yufeng glanced at Elysia first, then thought for a moment before taking out his phone and approaching Mostima: "Miss Mostima, since you managed to get my contact information, could you try to find the girl listed here?"

Suddenly, I started demanding that I do it myself.

Mostima looked Zhu Yufeng up and down, but found that the other party seemed to be simply asking if he could help, and if not, then forget it.

Lilith looked at Elysia, a slight smile playing on her lips.

As expected of you, Elysia. It's only when love is involved with you that Kaede becomes gentle.

Who are you... the only Herrscher who fell in love with humans and fought for them?

The True Self Flame-Chasers, the flawless rose maiden.

She had guessed that Elysia would most likely come along when she invited Zhu Yufeng over, if she wasn't mistaken about the way Elysia looked at Zhu Yufeng when they met last time.

Of course, if Elysia didn't come along, she wasn't without the possibility of going straight to base.

This kind of affection, once it has been established, can easily be extended to another. After crossing the initial boundary, crossing it again becomes even easier. She also believes that Zhu Yufeng will not abandon her or leave her because of this. This is because, rationally speaking, she is his irreplaceable deputy, and emotionally speaking, he also has feelings for her. This is her confidence.

This is the source of her confidence to act recklessly.

Lilith picked up her coffee cup and took a small sip. She wouldn't suggest asking Mostima for help, as that would diminish her relationship with Mostima. Besides, Maple didn't really care about this matter; she only asked because of Elysia. As for Mostima ...

She will definitely help.

The reason Mostima initially became Fallen Angel was precisely because this kind of leader, who acted as she pleased and did not act as she pleased, appealed to her.

Zhu Yufeng only showed Mostima the photos for a few seconds. If he left them out for too long, Mostima might subconsciously think that he was forcing her to do this, but he didn't have that thought.

In fact, he only forced Rovoc to give up his desire to die and continue working.

As long as the other Fallen Angel don't commit crimes or cause trouble under their noses, they can do whatever they want.

Zhu Yufeng would never say something like, "If it's inconvenient, then forget it." He remembered Mostima explicitly stating that she hated strangers saying such things because she felt that such a statement always carried a blaming tone, implying, "I think you should be able to do it, but you just don't want to."

After getting to know her better, although she would still be somewhat bothered by that statement, she was obviously much more tolerant of it.

The best approach right now is to give her some time to think things through without asking her how she's come to terms with it.

Zhu Yufeng then turned his gaze to Lilith and asked, "So, Lilith... may I call you that?"

"Of course, no problem, we're friends, right?" Lilith said with a smile. "If you think our relationship can take it a step further, I wouldn't mind either!"

Elysia's eye twitched. Did Lilith not care at all that she was here? Or... did Lilith actually realize that she and Feng were only pretending to be a couple?

However, the truth is that Lilith didn't care about this at all.

"Ahem, Lilith, I..."

Before Elysia could finish speaking, Mostima interjected, "Alright, since you seem to like it and it suits my taste, I'll give it a try. But don't blame me if you can't find it."

How could Mostima not be able to find the target? The police can't find it because they can only access surveillance footage from various parts of the city, while Mostima can access all the surveillance footage in the entire city. By comparing and filtering the photos, it's easy to find the target.

She said that only to leave herself a way out.

"It was just an attempt, so I'm not disappointed if it fails," Zhu Yufeng said calmly. "I'm quite surprised that you're willing to help."

"Why do you think I won't help?" Mostima asked, staring at Zhu Yufeng.

"We've only just met. You must be Lilith's friend. Although your offer has indeed caused us some trouble, the matter I asked you to handle is more complicated than these troubles, so I'm not surprised if you don't agree," Zhu Yufeng explained.

Mostima glanced at Lilith, then at Elysia. "A small problem? Are you making a mountain out of a molehill?" Finding someone was a piece of cake for him, but then again, it was understandable that he wouldn't know his hacking skills...

Tsk, this guy... he's really to her liking.

Then let's put in a little more effort.

Mostima kept her word and didn't hesitate to take out her computer and start working on it.

While Mostima was operating, Lilith looked at Elysia and said with a soft laugh in a gentle tone, "So, in this time, can we talk alone, Elysia?"

Mostima almost pressed the wrong button. You two are already rivals, right? And you want to talk alone?

She even conjured up an absurd scene in her mind: Lilith directly saying to Elysia, "I've taken a liking to your man, can you give him to me?"

Although it seemed absurd no matter how she thought about it, why did she feel that it was very likely to happen?

I really want to eat some melon seeds...

"Of course there's no problem. I also have some things I'd like to talk to you about alone, Lilith," Elysia replied with a smile.

"That..."

Just as Zhu Yufeng was about to say something, Elysia looked at him with a smile, "This is a topic between girls. Feng, you and Sakura can stay here and follow Miss Mostima to find Sophia."

Zhu Yufeng chose to keep quiet.

Sakura thought for a moment and chose to remain silent and continue to be invisible. Those two were far more skilled than her, so she would just stand obediently by Kaede's side and do whatever Kaede said.

Lilith and Elysia entered a private room. After closing the door, Lilith looked at Elysia and said in the same confident yet arrogant and lively tone that Elysia remembered, "This should be considered our first official meeting, right Elysia?"

Elysia smiled and said, "Yes, this should have been our first official meeting, but unfortunately you lied to me at the Eden concert. When Feng told me that you had memories, I was so angry."

"No, I'm not lying to you." Lilith twirled her long silver hair with her index finger and said, "I genuinely want to be friends with you. As for the fact that I have memories, you didn't ask me, so my not telling you doesn't count as lying, right?"

Elysia squinted at Lilith: "So you consider me a friend, but you kissed Maple right in front of me this time?"

Lilith clasped her hands together and said sincerely, "Then I won't do it in front of you next time."

Elysia: "???"

Is this something that should be done in front of her?

Seeing Elysia's expression of wanting to say something but not knowing what to say, Lilith's smile faded, and she sighed softly, "To be honest, I never thought that you would actually fall in love with Maple."

"Feng gave the same answer before." Elysia's smile faded, and she shifted her gaze towards the direction of Zhu Yufeng's private room. "You two have such great chemistry, it's truly enviable."

"But I also envy that Feng can be gentle for you. I've tried so hard to reduce the number of times Feng and you see each other," Lilith said helplessly. "Every time you're away, I find a mission in advance to take Feng away. I've tried so hard, but Feng can still be gentle to you, and you still fall in love with him."

Elysia: "..."

She wondered why Zhu Yufeng was always "coincidentally" unavailable on her birthday!

Wait, be gentle for her sake?

Thinking about it that way, it seems... that's indeed the case.

Suddenly, I realized that I wasn't actually lacking in confidence to face Lilith.

"Maybe it's because I might have fallen for Maple a long time ago." Elysia looked at Lilith and remembered the promise she made with someone to watch the fireworks together one more time. He had also promised her before this mission that he would go to the Far East with her to watch the fireworks festival after the mission was over.

She had to admit that their conversation under the stars had indeed stirred something in her heart.

"Well, there's really nothing we can do about that." Lilith crossed her arms, glanced at Elysia's figure, paused for a moment, and then said, "So, you've come here with some kind of mission, right?"

"Yes, we have a mission." Elysia didn't intend to hide it from Lilith, so she roughly told Lilith about the mission.

After listening, Lilith said thoughtfully, "Xila is also in this city? Then you might really have to fight Xila this time. After all, a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a storm on the other side of the world."

"If that's the case, it could be quite troublesome. Among the Fallen Angel, Xila is ranked third in combat power, right?" Elysia recalled.

Lilith added, "If she hadn't undergone the Hypervariable Surgery, she would have been even stronger than Beelzebub. Before, Feng was able to suppress and capture her, even though he had just become Fusion Warrior at that time. It took him a lot of effort. At the very least, he broke Xila's limbs and several ribs, rendering her unable to move, before he could subdue her."

"She can fight the Fusion Warrior to a standstill without undergoing the Hypervariable Surgery? No wonder the Fire Moth forbade anyone to see her after imprisoning her in the Deepest Place," Elysia said thoughtfully.

"Xila later confessed that she... had been injected with a drug that could modify her physique, increasing her Honkai Energy, although the price was a shortened lifespan. Since your mission is related to this,... you really might have to fight Xila," Lilith analyzed. "I'm not worried about Maple; he never hesitates in these matters. I'm only worried about you, Elysia. Don't show Xila any mercy. Even if you want to subdue her and bring back the Fire Moth, you must completely incapacitate her. Maple will probably say something similar later, if he also senses the possibility of fighting Xila."

"But Kevin has done this mission before, and he doesn't remember Xila?" Elysia asked, puzzled.

"Hmm...you think that way because of the difference in intelligence," Lilith said. "I'm the vice-leader of the Thirteen Fallen Angels, so I know more about them. First of all Xila wouldn't appear in this city out of nowhere. Before becoming Fallen Angel, she didn't have the concept of daily life, so she must have come here on a mission. So, to put it in the worst-case scenario, the organization you're looking for might have also noticed something, and thus established a cooperative relationship with the assassin organization behind Xila through some channels. Given Xila's personality, it's more likely that Kevin didn't encounter Xila because after Xila was injected with that drug, the assassin organization behind her abandoned the organization, Xila left the city. After that, Kevin wiped out the entire organization."

Elysia: "..."

She had witnessed Lilith's abilities as the deputy leader of the Fallen Angel, which explained why Maple was always being manipulated by Lilith.

Feng is certainly familiar with Xila, but he probably doesn't think as much about her as Lilith.

Or perhaps he might have guessed the general idea, but not in as much detail as Lilith's analysis.

"Alright, that's all I wanted to say about this and how I can help you. Is there anything else you want to say to me?" Lilith asked with a smile.

Elysia looked at Lilith and asked a question that concerned her, "What would you have done if I hadn't come this time?"

"Of course I was trying to swap places with Feng. I even prepared the drugged black tea." Lilith shrugged. "Didn't Feng tell you that I tried to do this more than once in my previous life? I almost did it once, but the Vill-V the Wicked ruined my plans."

Elysia: "..."

Very good, this answer is very Lilith.

Even though she's friends with Lilith now, she will absolutely not give Lilith any chance to be alone with Kaede when it comes to Kaede! Absolutely not!

And why can you talk about this so casually, Lilith!

On the other side.

Mostima looked at the surveillance footage, which showed the gray-haired girl killing Zhu Yufeng and asking her to find the target. She then looked at Zhu Yufeng and said, "It seems the person you're looking for is already dead. Besides, I think you'd better not meddle in other people's business."

"That's right, anyway, she's not really related to us." Zhu Yufeng nodded, looking thoughtfully at Xila on the monitor.

It seems that this time, Zhen will fight Xila, which is a bit troublesome. If Qianjie were here, everything would be much easier, but with the current manpower, Zhen's chances of winning against Xila are slim.

Elysia... she's strong, stronger than Qianjie, but whether she can really hurt Xila is debatable.

Sakura should be able to hold her own against Xila, but he also remembered that before Xila underwent her Hypervariable Surgery, she believed she could fight Sakura, who had undergone the surgery. Xila wouldn't lie, so she was confident in saying that. The truth remains uncertain, since they haven't actually fought. Moreover, given Xila's personality, if Sakura and Xila were to fight, even if they were to fight, the final result would only be one dead and one severely injured.

But why is Xila here? Kevin remembers that Nahamah was here, and it wasn't really related to this mission. If Kevin remembers that, he shouldn't forget Xila.

So, it might be due to the speed of the investigation. In order to reduce the possibility of unexpected events, he felt it was necessary to consider slowing down the investigation.

Alternatively, we could try to apply to headquarters to have Qianjie transferred over.

At this stage, besides Elysia, only Qianjie can reliably defeat Xila.

Zhu Yufeng thought to himself, while noting down where Mostima was pulling up the surveillance footage.
